Street tires are, among other engineering traits, compounded to heat up quickly. Slicks, uh, no. For whatever reason it seems the stickier the tire, the longer it takes to heat up; even hyper sport tires vs touring tires. Hence the tire warmer. Dave explains their use and abuse.

Do you have a recommendation for a affordable pyrometer to check tire temps?
Dave – you mention on hot days turning the warmer to the Warm setting (if available) and then setting to Hot 10-15 mins before the session. Don’t most tire warmers have a thermostat and if left on High would keep the tire at the desired/target temperature w/o this added step?
Happened to me. Had a borrowed generator that wasn’t outputting proper power. Thought my tires were hot, until I feel in turn 3. Great info sir.
This video is all excellent information, although Maxem Warmers will be making a breakthrough this year. 3 Year warranty, sold @ maxemtirewarmers.com and dunlopracing.com
FANTASTIC MATERIAL !
Do you have a recommendation for warmers that’ll fit supermoto/SV650 tires? 160 rear or thereabouts.
Great info Dave… i always wondered if you needed warmers on a hot day, summed it up in one video
Do you check temperatures/pressures post-ride?
Thanks for the free video
Hi Dave – with Bridgestone Slicks, what is the lowest ambient and track temperature you need to run safely (even while using warmers)?
i have the cheap tire warmers what i do is put them on as soon as get in the track no meter what, is that bad i know they turn on and off by themselves.
Extremely helpful and informative content even for a racetrack newb like me. Thanks!
Do you have a recommendation on generator for running 1 vs 2 sets of tire warmers. Everyone raves about Honda’s but there are so many less expensive & more powerful options
